The drive to the [[camshaft]]s is still with [[bevel gears|bevel shaft and gears]], but the cylinders are now inclined under 35 degrees. The position of the [[magneto]] is changed from the inlet camshaft to a place behind the cylinders. Bore and stroke are still 44 x 41 mm, and the power output is now 23 bhp at 14,000 rpm. The [[carburetors]] still have remote float bowls. The dry weight is 93 kg.
